 | Toys for Children  Play is important for young children, and not just for fun. It's a great way to develop concentration, creativity and vital skills like speech.

In many countries children with disabilities do not have an opportunity to mix with other children or attend school. | £10.00 |
 | A trip for a child in the UK Some young people in the UK don't have the opportunity to do things other children their age take for granted.

You could pay for a young person to do an activity like rafting, mountain biking or a night out at the cinema. | £15.00 |
 | Give girls a head start With the right support and encouragement, more and more girls around the world are at last getting the chance to catch up with the boys.
